\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A. 5 x 1-^-6 is 5 with the decimal moved 6 places left which is .000005

\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-log(.000005) = 5.301030\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "B. 3.5 = -log(H+) ---> -3.5 = log(H+) ---> antilog(-3.5) = H+ concentration (use the 10^x key on the calculator): 3x10*-4
